It terminates through-hole with a right-angle orientation, so the mated cable exits parallel to the PCB — useful when board-edge clearance is tight. The friction lock holds the mating receptacle in place under light vibration without a secondary latch, which saves a panel-mount step in many industrial control and sensor harness builds. ## Pitch, Plating, and Operating Range Mating pins are tin-plated on a phosphor bronze base — a standard signal-grade finish for moderate mating cycles in dry indoor environments. The operating temperature spans -40°C to 100°C, covering most commercial and light industrial enclosures. Insulation is rated UL94 V-0, so the header meets the flame-retardant requirement for equipment inside a UL-listed cabinet. ## Sourcing and Lifecycle Status Sourced to order against the BOM quantity — current pricing and lead time confirmed at quote time.","metaTitle":"281698-5 TE Connectivity 5-Pin Right-Angle Header 2.54mm","metaDescription":"281698-5 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors HE13/HE14 header, 5 positions, 0.100\" pitch, right-angle through hole, friction lock, UL94 V-0.
